Assignments and Grading

10 weekly assignments, worth a total of
40 points
(3-5 points each). A
combination of written exercises and computer exercises (using parsers,
modifying grammars, etc.). Each homework is due 1 week after
being assigned. There is a 1 point penalty for each week
late.
Assignments should be submitted in hard copy in class whenever
possible.

A term project, worth 30 points. There are a wide
range of
possibilities, including both computer implementations and research
papers.
Computer implementations may involve extensions to JET, adaptation of
JET
to additional languages, adaptation to new extraction tasks (grammar
and
lexicon development), or even entirely new systems. The term
project
is due at the last class meeting. You should plan your project well in
advance,
particularly for more ambitious efforts (such as adaptation to new
languages).

Computational Linguistics and ACL and COLING Conferences are
available on-line through the ACL
